Five hours, my arm is swollen af (will take a picture when it's healed ๐Ÿ˜‚) and now I am on the train and the second skin (bandaid that should stay on for some days) fell off. Great. Have to wash it and put everything on again at night, at home. Why is my life like this... BUT I love it - the tattoo, I mean ๐Ÿ˜‚. Artist: kaplan.tattoo (Insta). Just stressed af now...ahahaaaa...

I didn't want an... explicit tattoo ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Thank you girls ๐Ÿซถ. The artist also does a lot of the Sorayama Robot tattoos, so I immediately thought "that's my guy!" ๐Ÿ˜…

Waiting for your tattoo @LinLoveMJ - you said "soon" ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ˜…
well...when its on its on...so I need to find cool letters, like you send me. And....really need to think where to put it...I still think on my arm on the inside..but...when I get older then I already am...things are going to hang haha and then also the letters...its difficult. Or on my chest...hmmm I really haven't figure out yet where...where.....

Maybe there is a calligraphy tattoo artist you can go to? ๐Ÿง

Imo...there is no part of the body that doesn't change, but I don't think that's a problem. Maybe tricky with portraits (one reason why I don't have any ๐Ÿ˜…). But with letters, especially calligraphy, that "flows" with your body, I think it still looks perfect even if it changes over time.

Arm would fit very good. Maybe also on the inside or wrapped around your arm.

Some inspiration (I love planning tattoos) ๐Ÿคญ

Are you actually anesthetized during a tattoo? I imagine it would be very painful.
Haha, no...well, there is this new "trend" where people are anesthetized and multiple tattoo artists are working on that person at once. As far as I know someone died in this process...very dangerous because the body definitely tells you when it's enough.

And there are numbing lotions, but I never tested that.

Yes, it hurts. But depends on multiple factors how painful it really is.
 
I have a long scar on my arm and recently thought I might want a tattoo to conceal it or "enhance" it ... Is it possible to tattoo scar tissue? Never got any tattoos. But since I am a curious person and love to try new things, maybe maybe ... I thought about a fine lined feather motive ...

There is a German photographer on insta who has people color their scars with gold paint and takes the most beautiful photos of those!

Do it because yolo ๐Ÿ˜…. Depends on the scar. You can definitely tattoo over it, but the tattoo artist has to take a look at your skin to decide what is possible.

But be aware: once you start...you know...I have many tattoos now ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
Yes! My YOLO feeling is through the roof since I turned 50 two years ago ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Thank you for this advice!!

That IS a fear I do have lolol
You are welcome, if there are any more questions, feel free to ask ๐Ÿ˜Š. And, well... that fear also doesn't matter when you live the yolo - lifestyle ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
I think I would shit my pants before the needle stuck me.
Haha, it's not that bad...in the beginning it only feels like scratching over your skin with fingernails. After a few hours and when there is a lot of shading or blackout involved. That's when the fun fades and you question your life decisions ๐Ÿคก. And the tattoo artist wiping it clean is way worse than the needle ๐Ÿ˜‚.
 
Which parts of the body are the most sensitive besides those we can all imagine?
Hard to tell...for me, personally: fingers were the absolute worst so far and I only have some dots there.

Outside of the arm was not painful, nearly fell asleep several times ๐Ÿ˜‚. Inside of the arm was little more painful, but often you don't feel anything in one particular spot and 5mm next to it it hurts like a m...f. Back was not painful at all directly on the spine (a lot of people say it's a very, painful spot). But some centimetres to the left or right, oh boy...

I would recommend everyone to start with a small tattoo to see how it feels like. Small things without shading or blackouts are not painful at all. I'd say everything under 2 hours is totally chill.

There are also pain charts you can google. But individual for everyone.
